Vasco Road SLF

As of 2022, Vasco Road SLF has approximately 29,202,727 tons of waste in place. The total permitted design capacity of the facility is 37,163,551 tons, meaning the site is currently at approximately 79% of its total design capacity. The facility accepts approximately 459,984 tons of waste per year based on the most recent annual data. At the current rate of fill, the facility is projected to reach capacity and close around 2034.

Vasco Road SLF has an operational landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) project using a Reciprocating Engine system. The facility generates approximately 5.6 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of landfill gas, of which approximately 2.3 mmscfd is actively collected. The landfill gas contains approximately 46.9% methane content. The gas collection system includes 130 extraction wells. This type of project converts waste-generated methane into usable electricity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while generating renewable energy for the local grid.
